META files have a way of changing depending on what platform they are
ported to. And in Word you should watch for Metafiles pasted near the
borders; they have a tendency to get corrupted for lack of a better term.

First No. I don't know any MathReader intolerant people.
The second : Options:
You should save the file as HTML from Mathematica. Word 97 should open up
HTML files. Better yet they can use a browswer.
Save your selection as a bitmap and paste into Word.
Additionally, Word uses a rudementary version of MathType equation editor.
If you wish to stick to Word 97 then look into Word's Equation Editor
importing tex.
